New Rival – My Urban Condition

New Rival – My Urban Condition – Album Review How dudes like Kenneth Cookson find their way here, I’ll never know, but I appreciate it all the same.  Guy’s got like, all kinds of education and experience in orchestras and all that, and his “music of course could and should be interpreted by professionals who […]Read More

Simon Safhalter – In Transit

Simon Safhalter – In Transit – EP Review This chameleon! It’s almost odd to remember Simon Safhalter in a way, considering the fact that he’s continually doing something new with his music and morphing his sound so much more than the rest out there tend to.  In a world where the majority of artists and […]Read More

Schwerer Traum – “You Are Free” / “In My Dreams”

Schwerer Traum – “You Are Free” / “In My Dreams” – Singles Review Back in March of 2023, we were introduced to the sound of Schwerer Traum and their heavy-ass Groove Metal style through the song “Rotations” that we’d posted up here in our special reports section.  Those of you that have been reading through […]Read More

Kevin Holm-Hudson – Milkweed

Kevin Holm-Hudson – Milkweed – Album Review When Asclepias would likely be confused with some kind of ancient Greek God, go with Milkweed. Though, after having a listen to this record over this past week, I certainly wouldn’t put it past Kevin Holm-Hudson to write about ancient Greece…or pretty much anything else under the sun […]Read More

Music With Michele – “Fly Dandelion”

Music With Michele – “Fly Dandelion” – Single Review Ohhhhhhh I tell ya folks…this scene we share is truly filled with all kinds of delightfully quirky characters that make this planet keep on turnin.’ Have you met Michele Ocean yet?  Remember her from back in 2022 when we reviewed the song “Sunflowers” perhaps?  We were […]Read More

Kizzy Stayne – Beautiful Scars

Kizzy Stayne – Beautiful Scars – EP Review He’s got that “Billionaire Mindset” and he’s puttin’ it to work.  #respect Kizzy Stayne, that’s the name.  Dude’s workin’ with a solid crossover sound that you can hear straight off the drop in the opening track “Billionaire Mindset,” which fuses together Pop, R&B, Rap, and Reggaeton into […]Read More

Greg Norton – “Spider Man”

Greg Norton – “Spider Man” – Single Review Alrighty!  Time to check out this new Greg Norton tune.  I always dig it when I get the opportunity to check out something from someone I genuinely think highly of – Norton’s a great musician, but he’s arguably an even better guy that’s been a pleasure to […]Read More

KaySax – “Close To You” / “Let Us Dance”

KaySax – “Close To You” / “Let Us Dance” – Singles Review This dude’s in solid shape for the future ahead – I dig what I’m hearing from KaySax so far! As you’d likely assume from the name, we’re talkin’ about saxophone-based music here in review today, and within the instrumental realm, respectively.  While you […]Read More

Tony Venuto – City And Sand – Album Review Well whaddya know…I’ve been listening to Tony’s music for about four years or so at this point, yet this is the first time I’ve actually written about it on these pages of ours here.  That’s what happens when you’re the Wizard Of Oz behind the curtain…you […]Read More
